Oops. In my response to Debbie's message, one of her comments appears to be
my own (The paragraph starting with "Another." I'm hastening to correct

country or by collection or by document.
Debbie, that's your choice. If you have set up your American sources by
geographic locale, it would seem logical to me to apply that across the
board.
>Another fine point is to determine if the document is found locally or
nationaly and when thus determined, how to express that. Is the document
derived or original.
This kind of critical thinking is what impels us to apply critical thinking
to all aspects of the record. Once we get in the habit of that kind of
analysis, we seem to find all sorts of ways to "analyze" the record and the
data.
>Should the source definition reflect the medium used (ie: manuscript) or
the method by which we viewed it (ie: emailed digital scan) or both in my
case.
Both (EE 2.11).
Some of the above I'm grasping but most of the time it is difficult to mesh
all that into one logical source definition.
So much confusion, forgive me for my lack of confidence.
Like most other things in life, Debbie, with repetition it gets much easier.
